    We need to be on the front foot, the Devil wants to snare the nations, by provoking their world (angry?)

    Hi there, So I have been watching the Lord, looking to the Heavens and resisting the Devil (as best I can), and I have begun to perceive a pattern in the Devil's attacks. The Devil has made the nations of the world his focus, and wishes to bring them into a snare (that they are not for God)...

    If you can win a brother, with fewer words: should that be the rule? Or is speaking in many words, proof of the greater love of God? (choice?)

    Hi there, So I have been reading this and that, and discussing whether Churches are hot or cold, and I have come to the conclusion that words themselves can be hot or cold, because they can be few or great. Now how is few or great the same as hot or cold, I hear you ask? In the same sense that...

    Just repeat, the faith! (you don't need to reinvent the wheel?)

    Hi there, So I have worked out that: I believe what you do! There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Jesus died once for all, and rose from the dead. The Grace of God abounds in the acceptance within, of what Christ did on the cross. There is no need for a new faith. There is no need for a new...

    You've got to pray for my Nation, the Devil wants to destroy it and the watchmen sleep! (Lord returning?)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to put a word out there, for people to pray for Australia. The Devil wants to destroy this nation, but the Lord won't stand for it. We need to agree with Him, stand and pray, until we reach "touchdown" and God can claim the victory. We are a very young nation...

    The stone that the builders doubted, has still worked (selah)

    Hi there, So Psalm 118:22 talks about the "stone which the builders rejected" conveying something about Christ. The idea is the builders wanted to build a bridge, but couldn't get the two sides of the arch underneath the bridge to lean against each other - the 'cornerstone' was needed. This...

    In Heaven, you are safe. Nothing can come to where you are, in Heaven. (at peace?)

    Hi there, So this is just a simple thought: we are safe in Heaven. The Bible says that the anti-christ will blaspheme those who dwell in Heaven, and its easy to think he knows what he is doing: but he doesn't. The anti-christ does not know what is in Heaven. So if you are in Heaven, you just...

    It's your responsibility to stay in faith, until you grow. Fidelity, grows the soul. (growing?)

    Hi there, So something that really helped me, a lot, when I realised it, was that it is our responsibility to remain in faith, until we grow. This is a delegation of talent, that God has given us, to be patient and expectant. If we are patient, our faith will remain alive to us; if we are...

    The Devil is trying to choke my faith; the Devil says "you're not allowed to believe, unless you have from the start" (its making me mad!)

    Hi there, So I have been through the whole back sliding thing and come to the conclusion that I both need a second wind and greater grace from God - and this is where the Devil hits me: the Devil says "no, you have become backsliding, there is no more hope for you" and "no God does not want to...

    Hydration is key, to spiritual balance (thirsty?)

    Hi there! So remember what Jesus said, when He was on the Cross? "I thirst". Quenching thirst, in our coming to the Cross, is crucial to our walk with Christ. If we do not quench our spiritual thirst, we are unbalanced, unfocussed, unsettled. These things come to us, if our focus on the Cross...

    What was Jesus going to do, before He became focused on saving us (from sin)?

    Hi there, So I am just wondering, if Jesus was inspired to make His life a sacrifice, what would He have done, if we hadn't needed saving? I'm not saying we didn't need saving, but was saving in preference to something else? Like would He have dedicated His life to building the Temple? Or would...

    Jesus said "the day is coming when you will worship in spirit and in truth", if you can be beheaded for faith in truth, you can be in spirit (yes?)

    Hi there, So this is directly out of Revelation 20:4 and I am not twisting the words there, but giving them an expanded context. Revelation clearly says that only those that are beheaded for their faith, come to life again (during the reign of Christ). What it does not say, is whether this is...

    Please pray for people who are unequally yoked - your faith comes easy and lightly, but theirs is like a sea of doubt (testing?)

    Hi there, So I will be blunt, I have been unequally yoked. It was a fleeting thing, but I have had dysfunction ever since. It occurred to me that their might be other people like me, struggling with being unequally yoked. I think it would be a good thing, for the Church to pray - since the...

    The anti-christ rejects "birth", and so is unable to be born again (slavery to sin?)

    Hi there, So I've been thinking about the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit was preparing me for the anti-christ. And the question arose in my mind "why doesn't the anti-christ just come?" (thinking in myself that I am ready to face him) and the Holy Spirit basically said "because he rejects...

    Jesus said "pray!" but people aren't praying! If they did, they would pray what He asked... let's pray! (heartfelt?)

    Hi there, So Jesus plainly said "pray that you be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man" (gospels, from memory). But are people praying that? I don't think so! Not continually anyway. This is serious! This is life-changing! Stand...

    Is it just me, or does artificially intelligent "art" provoke suicidal thoughts? (soullessness?)

    Hi there, So whenever I look at artificially intelligent art, I get suicidal thoughts. It's something to do with the "art" having no soul behind it? What are your thoughts? Is it too much? Please!

    Is the anti-christ, the son of the false prophet? (link?)

    Hi there, So this has been annoying me for some time: when is the anti-christ going to appear? The thing is, if you need to know when he is going to appear, you need to know with what power? Why? Because once the anti-christ is there, there will be a struggle over that power. Now, I know this...

    Please pray for Australia (even a short prayer?)

    Hi there, So we have Australia, right? And we all like to think of ourselves as "mates", we don't like someone sticking their head up above the rest, we work hard professionally with the time we have left. But we are under foreign rule! All our decisions are made, as if being dispossessed is...

    Is making Christianity in your own image, a sin? (theologically?)

    Hi there, So there is a mystery, right? That the Church is Christ's Bride and we are His Body? How then should we define our Christianity? The truth is we should do it, according to God's Gospel. But there is a lot in God's Gospel, because it includes the Bible (and the Bible includes a lot)...

    Soul dies for soul, that's the soul (selah)

    Hi there, So this is a simple proverb, its not meant to be complicated. The question of which soul dies for which, does complicate it - but only in the sense that the soul can die for soul other than itself. For example the soul can die for the soul of a friend. The soul is still the soul, but...

    God shortens the Days, but He prolongs the Moment (need time?)

    Hi there, So this is actually a very simple thing, that is reflected in John 1:1. John 1:1 says "in the beginning was the word, and the word was God and the word was with God". What's happening here, from God's perspective? What is happening is that time is slowing down: the word is introduced...
